Hello!! I’m an English teacher in Beijing, China. I’m from the USA, and caught the travel bug when I first came to China as a volunteer in 2010. After graduating, I decided I wanted to pursue a job in China...and now I’m here! While I’m here, I’m looking to hop around and expand what I know of the world, so I thought I’d give Couchsurfing a go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d take a conversation with a local over sightseeing any day. People make an experience more than any tourist opportunity.
